Time Machine backup public visibility

My Cloud Home - Personal Cloud Storage My Cloud Home Duo
1

Hi all,
I just bought my WD My Cloud Home Duo. I’ve followed all instructions to set Time Machine backup on my iMac and it’s working well.
I’d like to understand better one detail: I had to set my access for time machine on My Cloud as “guest” to let work Time Machine backup, but I think that with this setting everybody that have an access to my network can see my iMac backup and copy the image files (for example).

I have a guesthouse and i provide wifi-access to my host… I don’t want to share my iMac backup with them but seems that there’s visibility of my backup image on finder folder (in the section “shared”). Could you please clarify better my dubt, please ?
Thank you

Its the same way across the WD NAS and Home line. But you can select Encrypt when you set it up. That way even if they can access it they cannot see it.
